Gotta check out the huge HALF OFF sale on select merchandise. Look for the specially marked tags. Here’s the deal. We pride ourselves in our ever-changing, fresh inventory of awesome apparel. Recently, we’ve noticed some stuff clogging up the works and not moving for whatever reason. So, we  cut prices by 50% and give our customers a chance to get half off our already low prices.

This deal goes through the end of  July or until we’re all sold out of the sale items. Whatever comes first.

By the way, tune in to WMSE, 91.7 FM – Milwaukee , WI Community-Powered Independent Radio. We’re underwriting a spot on  Dori Zori’s awesome Thursday 12 noon – 3 pm show.

Congratulations to Denise Diorio, who is the winner of our monthly $50 Shopping credit. Every month we randomly choose a winner from our list of faithful subscribers.

Do you Facebook? We have a page and are planning some surprises for our Facebook fans very soon. So, fan up our page already.

We got what you need! See you soon!

Tim Cigelske runs a unique online business that deserves your attention and patronage. He sells single shirts at a time. In fact, he grabbed a Che shirt from ReThreads to sell on his site Teecycle.com. Tim also gets big bonus points for donating $1 from every shirt sale to the River Revitalization Foundation.  Remember…reduce. Reuse. Teecycle.

Don’t forget that ReThreads is a real Shopportunity. At least that’s what Jan Uebelherr said in her Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Fashion column on May 1.

Congratulations to Sommer Darland! She won the monthly $50 Shopping Credit. Remember, every month we randomly choose a winner from our list of subscribers.

To highlight a couple of random items that we have in the store right now:

As far as swimsuits go, we only buy awesome vintage and great brands that are new with tags. Right now we have in an adorable green floral vintage bikini top priced at $8.50. We also have a green print one piece by Bitten (Sarah Jessica Parker’s label) for $16.

Last, but not least, we have in a Monsac purse in the most gorgeous imaginable red. These suckers go for as much as $400. This one we priced at $58.75.

Come in and check out all the new items we have for sale!

We got what you need! See you soon!

$50 Trade Credit Winner
Finally, I have a very important order of business to take care of. I am pleased to announce the first random winner of our monthly $50 Trade Credit drawing.

We dropped all our subscriber names in a spreadsheet, then went to our favorite number randomizer on the web. It picked a number in its cosmic wisdom and the lucky winner is…..

…Whitney Gulbronson

Congratulations Whitney!

ReThreads is now officially open! Let the shopping begin! We got our license this morning and had a great first day. Thanks to all 0f you who stopped in.

Our hours are Mon-Sat 11-7 and Sundays 12-5.

We will continue to buy used modern and vintage clothing every day. Feel free to call us with any questions at 414.263.1690.

Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm and support. Opening this store has been a wonderful process. Thanks for being a part of it.

Scratch that opening date of March 10. We’re so busy making this store awesome that a bit of paperwork slipped through the cracks. In Milwaukee you need a secondhand dealers license to run a recycled, used clothing store. The paperwork has been back-and-forth with little tweaks and changes required. About a week ago it got lost in the shuffle.

Basically, this means we have to wait a few more days so my fingerprints can be processed (seriously!). We’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, we are still holding 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. buying hours, except that we’re being very selective now, because we have a ton of really great stuff, but we can’t sell any of it yet.
